If they actually bring this to the US I will be happy and even more interested in buying one.

Sounds like the sales of the hybrid were not as expected and the loyal following who screamed very loudly for a petrol engine were heard.

Yes the CRX started as a fun 2 seater econo car but over the years it could not avoid becoming a beloved tuner car. And I thought they were only going to respond with an Si version. thanks Honda. Now make one in a Diesel as well please.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Kinda defeats the purpse of a Hybrid car. I mean it you want a K swapped car why pick a 35k$ chassis? Doesn't the term HotRod mean big motor in older,lighter car.

I bet a K2xa EG can get better MPG,WHP,Wtrq,1/4 mile times, at a fraction of the cost.. With CRZ/LHT money you could do everything baller status and still be cheaper.

im not hating on a turbo 1.6. I just think honda is comical these days with only trying to strive to make a 4 cyl run like a slightly bigger 4 cyl. At least ford made a v6 that out performs most of their old v8s and gets better mileage

You guys are totally missing the point.

You guys always nag on Honda because they are econoboxes and not race cars like people try to make them, then bitch when they CONTINUE to make econoboxes and not race cars. It blows my fucking mind.

i agree, why make a smaller engine to perform as an engine already small
